START

Go To Sleep Early

There is no need to make an aggressive jump like going to bed at 8 pm when you are making a lifestyle change. Just try to go to sleep 30 minutes earlier. By building up your fall asleep time slowly you will be able to change your body’s internal clock over time.

Don't run immediately after waking up. Make sure to drink at least 8 ounces of water when you first wake up. It's also important to drink water during your run if you're running longer than 30 minutes.

You’ll find a million excuses if it’s just you. But if you have a buddy to run with, or if you can join a running group, you will be less likely to hit the snooze button and stay in bed. Make a commitment to each other that you’ll show up and hold each other accountable.
